Download or read book A Contextual Behavioral Guide to the Self written by Louise McHugh and published by New Harbinger Publications. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The self plays an integral role in human motivation, cognition, and social identity. A Contextual Behavioral Guide to the Self translates this difficult—yet essential—therapeutic process into easy-to-apply steps and user-friendly language. For many clients, it's incredibly difficult to shed preconceived notions of “who they really are,” and negative perceptions of the self can lead to feelings of low self-worth that stand in the way of treatment. Furthermore, every client who partakes in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) must identify a self as part of their treatment, and clinicians often report that observing the self, or “self as context,” is the most difficult of all six core ACT processes. Problems with the self arise when clients orient themselves in the world and learn to relate to others, but these problems can vary considerably. For example, some clients may have deficits in developing a strong sense of self in the first place—particularly if they are diagnosed with autism spectrum conditions (ASC). Depressed clients or those with borderline personality disorder (BPD) may develop a skewed, negative sense of self, and those with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) may develop an inflated sense of self. With this unique road map, you will learn to apply the complex theory of the self into everyday practice, and help all clients develop empathy, compassion, and flexible perspective taking—leading to better treatment outcomes and better lives for clients.

Download or read book Culture and Social Behavior written by Richard M. Sorrentino and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2005-03-23 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-cultural differences have many important implications for social identity, social cognition, and interpersonal behavior. The 10th volume of the Ontario Symposia on Personality and Social Psychology focuses on East-West cultural differences and similarities and how this research can be applied to cross-cultural studies in general. Culture and Social Behavior covers a range of topics from differences in basic cognitive processes to broad level cultural syndromes that pervade social arrangements, laws, and public representations. Leading researchers in the study of culture and psychology describe their work and their current perspective on the important questions facing the field. Pioneers in the field such as Harry Triandis and Michael Bond present their work, along with those who represent some newer approaches to the study of culture. Richard E. Nisbett concludes the book by discussing the historical development of the field and an examination of which aspects of culture are universal and which are culture-specific. By illustrating both the diversity and vitality of research on the psychology of culture and social behavior, the editors hope this volume will stimulate further research from psychologists of many cultural traditions. Understanding cultural differences is now more important than ever due to their potential to spark conflict, violence, and aggression. As such, this volume is a "must have" for cultural researchers including those in social, cultural, and personality psychology, and interpersonal, cultural, and political communication, anthropology, and sociology.

Download or read book The Human Behavior written by Valentin Matcas and published by Valentin Leonard Matcas. This book was released on with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your behavior consists of everything that you do in life, knowingly and unknowingly. Even more, your behavior represents and is a consequence of everything that you need, mean, and think throughout life. Yet it was so easy to manage your life if your behavior was so easy to define, because you always live your life alongside the rest of society, and always influenced by the rest of the world, in every manner. You are a social value, highly useful to others, and this is how others end up controlling you and your behavior according to their own needs and reasoning, with or without your consent. And this is how you behave and live your life in society, you influence and you are influenced by others continuously, according to your needs, beliefs, duties, capabilities, orders, and agendas. And you do so successively, continuously, and many times simultaneously throughout life and throughout society. Even more, your social behavior does not define you entirely, since your private, hidden behavior is distinct from your open, social one. You work hard to keep this shadow behavior unnoticed and at bay, but now when you consider it, you realize that it defines you more than everything else. This has always been the case, it can make life fun and exciting at times, yet it can become dangerous and expensive. Because it has become a continuously hidden need that you are forced to fulfill consistently, and many times, you would rather avoid this private behavior, if you only knew how. What happens is that the entire world lives in this major dissociation, because everybody seeks privacy and intimacy in life for various reasons, as everybody lives in the hiding most of the time, overwhelmed, guilty, and confused. And now, you seek to find out why you behave in this manner, you want to know what you can do in order to change and improve your behavior, you seek to know how to educate your children towards adopting a good behavior in life and in the world, and this is why you read this book. Throughout this book, you learn everything about the human behavior, everything necessary to help you control yourself, understand others, and develop to higher levels, along with everything necessary for you to help and educate others to behave well, while developing consistently to higher levels.
Download or read book Constructive and Destructive Behavior written by Arthur C. Bohart and published by Amer Psychological Assn. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fuses the work of scholars in educational, developmental, clinical, social, and personality psychology in this exploration of the question "How can constructive and prosocial behavior be promoted and destructive and antisocial behavior be controlled?" This collection of empirically grounded chapters explores theory and experimental findings on what influences prosocial and antisocial expression, adding to the debates about whether media violence causes real violence or whether catharsis is good. This text aims to give scientists and practitioners a new perspective on the context within which these behaviors thrive: how empathy develops, how self-control in childhood predicts adult behavior, how age and sex influence bullying, whether early intervention can prevent delinquency, and how school success lays the groundwork for constructive lives.

Download or read book Social Behavior written by P. Bateson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociobiology is the play of the season. Its success is mellsured by its immense popularity and perhaps by the controversy it has generated as well. Unfortunately, neither its popularity nor the resulting controversy seems likely to assure progress toward understanding sociobiological issues. The play has too many actors and, it seems, the casting has been poor; the players are unable to maintain their roles. At center stage, of course, is E. O. Wilson and his monumental opus Sociobiology. 1 In the wings, and making periodic entrances, are an assort ment of brilliant, committed, and aggressive adversaries. On cue, one of them steps out and decries the self-fulfilling nature of sociobiological prophesies. The arguments of the adversaries are varied. They warn that if all nonhuman primate societies tolerate aggression and man is also a pri mate, then aggression may come to be considered "normal" and therefore acceptable. Their dire warnings may also have real impact on policy, alter ing, for example, a research program intended to examine longitudinally the relation between a supernumerary chromosome and certain behavioral disorders. The rationale is that since the afflicted infants would have to be identified and the study obviously does assume that psychopathology is linked to the chromosome aberration, the attitudes of the child's parents could well contribute to abnormal behavior that might otherwise not appear.
